We Typically Work On A Contingency Fee Basis
Throughout the United States, most attorneys who practice in the area of personal injury law charge a contingency fee of 1/3 of the gross settlement amount. In fact, in some states, the attorney cannot charge more than this. Normally, an attorney who settles a case without having to file a lawsuit, will charge 1/3 of the gross settlement amount as his attorney fee. If the attorney does not settle the case at all, then he should not charge the client anything for his time. Only, if the contingency is met (which is getting a recovery for the injured client) will the attorney get paid for his work.

If the insurance company fails to offer a settlement or denies the claim for some reason, then the attorney can file a lawsuit in the District Court. After a lawsuit is filed, then most attorneys charge 40% of the gross recovery as an attorney will have to work more and has more at risk in costs of litigation. Personal injury attorneys normally will advance all the costs in bringing a case to settlement or to a jury trial. So, normally the client is not asked to pay costs up front and the attorney will recover his costs out of the eventual settlement.
Some attorneys in Colorado charge more than 1/3 of the gross settlement and may try to charge you 35% or more. I personally believe this is too high of a percentage and would recommend that all injured clients stick with an experienced personal injury attorney who charges only 1/3 pre-suit and 40% after a lawsuit is filed. Do not let an attorney charge you more than these “normal” fees. If an attorney tries to charge you more in fees, then I believe this attorney is overcharging and this is bad for the lawyer profession. Please do not hire an attorney who tries to overcharge you from the very start.
